Its coming together now.
The side skirts are on, but not yet trimmed, split or fitted with the joiners, but its looking a lot more Lion-ish.
I am deciding on doing a bit of damage to the left rear corner & removing the mud flap off the guard and leaving out the rubber side skirt exposing the drive sprocket, plus damaging the fuel drum that is in the same area.
As this has to go into a box and be sent across the Pacific to its owner, the drums will have to be removeable so as not to be busted off by the time it gets there.
Things like that influence the method and outcome of any ideas, but I really want to do the best I can on this and not risk destruction of the finished model before Mr Mithras gets it.
